Scientists from General Electric's Global Research Center in Niskayuna recently won a $1.25 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to study the viability of so-called pumped storage hydropower technology that essentially stores up power generated from solar and wind farms for use on the electric grid. The grant, which was awarded by the DOE's Water Power Technologies Office, will be shared by GE Research ...

...United States this year are expected to amount to 712 MW, almost double of 376 MW in 2018. This will help the United States surpass South Korea, where the market might drop significantly below 600 MW. The increasing mark...

As a member of the Energy Storage Association, the US-based organization representing companies involved in the energy storage field, the Consortium for Battery Innovation had a clear message when exhibiting at the groups annual conference, ESACon19: Lead batteries deliver a reliable, safe and cost-effective option for a wide range of energy storage applications. ESACon19 was the ideal place to launch CBIs latest service an interactive map showcasing global installations using ...

...e city. It's called pumped storage, and the plant at Castaic is one of the largest such plants in the western United States, but maybe not for long. LADWP is looking at building an even larger plant at Hoover Dam, so thi...

The U.S. Energy Storage Association (ESA), the national trade association for the American energy storage industry, announced today the results of its board and officer elections. Each year, ESA holds open elections among its members, and the resulting Board of Directors votes to select executive committee officers.

The power grid is a pretty complex system. Electricity is generally produced on an as-needed basis. Generators ramp up and down based on demand. However, energy storage systems are beginning to change how demands are being met.

Utility Southern California Edison selected a roster of energy storage projects to supply local capacity needs around the coastal city of Oxnard, instead of the 262-megawatt natural-gas peaker plant it had chosen previously. If regulators give their approval, Strata Solar will build and own a 100-megawatt/400-megawatt-hour system in Oxnard, and dispatch it on behalf of SCE. This system will tie for largest lithium-ion battery in the world when it ...

Last year saw global energy storage expand to record levels, with 147% year-on-year growth in gigawatt-hour (GWh) terms. This pales in comparison to what is to come. By 2024, we forecast that the market will expand 13-fold.

...to meeting electricity demand during peak times, but energy storage has not been widely adopted. In 2017, the United States generated 4 billion megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity but had only 431 MWh of electricity stor...

...fficient, resilient, sustainable and affordable electricity grid, but also more job opportunities here in the United States. The U.S. has the opportunity now to take the helm as a global leader in energy storage. Many bu...

...cording to the U.S. Department of Energy, there are about 25,000 megawatts of installed energy storage in the United States, including over 700 megawatts of battery storage. The proposed tax incentives are modeled on the...

...xcluding pumped hydro, with $14 billion of that coming in 2024 alone. This growth will be concentrated in the United States and China, which will account for 54 percent of global deployments by 2024, followed by Japan, A...

The US and China will dominate the roll-out of storage capacity to 2024, as the sector is expected to grow 13-fold by 2024, according to the latest research by Wood Mackenzie Power and Renewables. Between 2013 and 2018, roughly 7GW/12GWh of energy storage was deployed globally, with a compound annual growth rate of 74%, according to WMPR. However roughly half of this total was installed last year alone, WMPR ...
